Silva is excited about the prospect of now being able to make his debut for Leicester, although his registration was not completed in time for him to face Huddersfield later on Monday.

The 28-year-old, who has played several behind-closed-doors friendlies to help gain match fitness, told LCFC TV: 'It's been very frustrating, but now the difficult times are past me and now I'm very happy to be close to my goal.

'I've been working hard every day to arrive at this moment and I'm in good shape.

'I will be in good shape because I have worked a lot - I have confidence in that - but I have to play games to get better.'

Silva has been at Leicester since the summer but only completed his move on January 1
